Ok thanks

But if I bottle as is, won't it go bad? My understanding is that when you bottle and carb the co2 stops it from going off. If I bottle flat there won't be any co2. Do I need to add sulphites or anything?

Ok but if I decide to bottle it still, do I need to add anything to it or do I just bottle as it is?

I need some advice please guys. I've got two demijohns of cider that have been sitting in secondary fermentation since last December. I now want to bottle it but not sure what to do. I presume that adding priming sugar will not carb it as there won't be any yeast left. I don't mind too much...

Hi, I've got a few demijohns that are nearly finished fermenting. My plan was to rack to fresh demijohns, let them sit somewhere cool for a couple of weeks, rack them again and add carb sugar and bottle. My local brew shop have just told me that I shouldn't rack and let them sit for any period...

Hi guys, I'm using campden tablets for the first time and have read conflicting information. I have read that I should not seal the demijohn after adding the campden, but should just use cotton wool or a paper towel for 24 hours so that gas can escape. I have also read that the demijohn should...

Yes a friend is diabetic so I'm just trying to gather info on certain beers that he likes. I don't need to be scientifically exact, it's just that as I said the chart that I got from the shop says that a litre of beer with a reading of 1010 has 20 grams of sugar less than some of the charts...
